You are probably wondering where an earth your favourite blog -Our Drunken Nights Out .blogspot.com has been the last few months... Well, there is a story there that has to be told at some point, and I can tell you the time is not now. However, if you read the following passage it may lead you to the conclusion that everything is so so, and still ticking by albeit in our seperate ways.
Dan (I'm from WIGAN) Jones is now no longer in Wigan but on a cruise ship somewhere in the world, somewhere sunny probably - filming people having a wonderful time...
Sam (I'm a recovering addict) Griffin Holden is tucked away somewhere in a corner, probably in Wigan recovering from the night before and just waiting, and waiting... and waiting for the day to come before he can start doing exactly the same at Uni.
Myself (insert info here) is living the dream of full time employment on an industrial estate in Bolton filming washing machines and what not. HOWEVER, if you would be so kind as to visit http://hayste.blogspot.com/ then you will be able to follow myself and Hayley whilst we travel across Europe on the trains. If all goes to plan, meeting Dan (I'm from WIGAN) Jones in Venice! So that would be nice wouldn't it (Yes it would be).
So on to the extract from LIFE the UNIVERSE and EVERYTHING by Douglas Adams... all you need to know to follow this story is that the character has two heads. The rest you can relate to intrepidly.
"Then he had thought about what his position actually was; and the renewed shock had nearly made him spill his drink. He drained it quickly before anything serious happened to it. He then had another quick one to follow the first one down and check that it was all right.
'Freedom', he said aloud.
Trillion came on to the bridge at that point and said several enthusiastic things on the subject of freedom.
'I cant cope with it', he said darkly, and sent a third drink down to see why the second hadnt yet reported on the condition of the first. He looked uncertainly at both of her, and preferred the one on the right.
He poured a drink down his other throat with the plan it would head the previous one off at the pass, join forces with it, and together they would get the second to pull itself together. Then all three would go off in search of the first, give it a good talking to and maybe a bit of a sing as well.
He felt uncertain as to whether the fourth drink had understood all that, so he sent down a fifth to explain the plan more fully and a sixth for moral support.
'Your're drinking too much', said Trillion.
I like this... a lot.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably not be having many grand adventures for a while as you've got it spot on what I'm currently doing. However, I'll post as soon as I do visit the Moon or whatever.. maan.
and may I say Sam (the one who holds all the keys) that the site could use a little spruce up? They have now made it very easy to do so with a number of lovely designs on the 'design' section.
ReplyDeleteI thought that would make you happy.
I would also like to add to this that it is now summer, not Christmas. Although I do understand that it is wintery conditions in some parts of the world, it most surely is not Christmas.
Thats all.
OK, you win. It is now Christmas and it now makes sense again. Your playing the long game Holden! I like it.
